Lo aa gayi lodi ve

Lohri is the harvest festival of Punjab. Celebrated on the eve of Sakranti, i.e. 13th January, it also marks the end of peak winters. It’s an auspicious occasion for Punjabis, who celebrate it with many traditional rites and rituals. But for the youth, it’s an evening of fun and revelry around the bonfire. This song from the movie Veer Zaara captures this lighter mood of the festival where lovers tease and romance each other.

It presents a light-hearted dialogue between a middle-aged couple, where the husband is romancing the wife by expressing his promise of love for her. The wife teasingly tells him that she knows his intentions very well. She reminds him how he keeps breaking his promises about drinking and playing cards every night, so is he going to do the same about this promise too? The husband too teases her back but eventually manages to convince her by expressing his unshakeable love for her.
